THE CLEAN UP BEGINS

The move has been completed and the interior with the furniture is now 80% in place and we can find our bed at night. So now starts the garden work.

Lifting the paving blocks and removing the weeds, as the place stood empty for almost a year without any TLC. Now it's going to get it in an overdose.

Cleaned up, weeds gone and ready for a long cold one and a braai

We have moved in

18 TRESTA WALK - HORSELL - WOKING
Yip we got the keys and moved in. Starting Saturday morning 9am, Leon and I picked up a hired van and the party started.
Ria and Tania were loading the little boxes in the cars, while Leon and I did the big stuff ( two young strong lads)
While we were all busy between the two houses, Elizma was cooking up the "PAD-KOS" someone had to do the dirty work, Liam was to occupied to help us as he was watching mom make the lunch.

So after a week of moving, re-arranging and re-arranging we are all settled, and today 1 week on I started on the garden. The previous owners were elderly and they had the whole place paved with concrete blocks 400 x 400 bedded in brick motar, so I have quite a task ahead of me.

Ria has gone about the decorating, picture hanging and getting the heart of the house organised and stocked - her kitchen.

One of our new neighbors knocked on the door Wednesday night and gave us a welcome card and a nice cold bottle of welcome wine.

What a nice surprise

The sellers Tom & Judy on behalf of their Mom ( who passed away 1 year ago) sent us this card in the post.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIA

RIA's Birthday 15/08/2008

It just so happened that the transfer of our new house and the hand-over of the keys happened on the same day, so what better birthday present could she get.

HER OWN HOUSE IN THE UK

It's a dogs life - MURPHY

This was a day out, for MURPHY, yip believe it or not. Tania's little sausage Dachshund dog took the three of us to a DOGGY SHOW. The WAG & BONE SHOW in the gardens of the WINDSOR GREAT PARK. It is an annual affair and attracts Dogs from all over that bring their owners out for the day. There was every conceivable dog there from a wet rat breed to massive great Danes. Stalls, exhibitors, sales, demo's, shows, dog tricks, races etc etc.

We had a great day out and MURPHY got his MICRO CHIP implant, now he cant get lost.

MURPHY'S DAY OUT

"WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE TANIA'S DOG OR BE IT RE-INCARNATION"

its me again @ 10 weeks old

Now apart from his Grandfather where would you find or see a more happier face than this. The little fella is growing by the minute. He swings in arms around in excitement & desperation as his little brain tries to get words out his mouth, if you don't watch out he will knock your head off.

NOW LET ME THINK ABOUT THAT, AND CHECK WITH MOM & DAD, BEFORE I COMMIT MYSELF TO AN ANSWER
